Chocolate and Ruby Port: A Match of Sweet Indulgence

Pairing chocolate with dry wine can make the wine taste sour. Instead, reach for Ruby Port, a fortified sweet wine from Portugal.

What is Port Wine?

Port is fortified during fermentation by adding grape brandy, stopping fermentation early to preserve natural grape sugars and yield ~20% ABV.

The Harmony of Cacao and Berry

The bitterness of dark chocolate melts into the sweet, blackberry-jam flavors of a young Ruby Port, creating a luxurious mouthfeel similar to black-forest cake.
